Unfortunately the TA Nerius rings I have won't fit Chorus 10 speed (love Campag but hate their random changes of dimensions between the cranksets)!

Does anyone have any of the following?

Record 11 speed carbon compact
Chorus 11 speed carbon compact
Centaur 10 speed carbon compact
Veloce 10 speed aluminium compact

I would need it posted (UK mainland).

I had a new KMC 10 speed chain snap recently, but to be fair, it was because the tab on the RD mounting sleeve had snapped, which took the tension out of the mech and the tension out of the chain. As a result the chain drifted into the spokes and one of the side plates of the chain was sheared / sliced by the spokes.

Suggest you cross-post to the Home DIY thread, there are some knowledgeable people lurking there.

I've never used one but have read about a 'rivnut' as being useful in such a situation.

This is the UK, where people seemingly care more for animals than their fellow man :-(

I'm running Record 10speed Ergo levers. I need to replace my sealed gear cables but Gore stopped making them years ago.

Jagwire do sealed units but only for Shimano/SRAM it seems. Anyone know of a Campag sealed gear cable solution, or whether I can run Campag cables in a Jagwire Shimano/SRAM setup?

It's a Dutch thing (I know, because I have a Batavus that weights 40kg and rides like a dream, and which has the Woods valve). One of these adapters will fix your problem: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/274726413737?hash=item3ff6f865a9:g:ul4AAOSwKBBgjFGL

Pragmasis is a great source of security-related info, and their customer service is very good, too: https://securityforbikes.com/ . If you end up with a roller door for your garage, this would be a good idea to help secure it: https://www.screwfix.com/p/master-lock-garage-protector/2459t

Whoops, my mistake, and thank you for the reply. I'll look into that Polyx oil.

I've routed a signboard in pine wood for a friend and need some thoughts on how to weatherproof it. The letters will painted in exterior gloss paint but I don't know whether to varnish the rest of of the board (yacht varnish?) or oil it, and if it's oil, what oil to use? It will be hung up outdoors so will get rained and snowed on (it's going to hang outside a house in Bulgaria, near the Black Sea). Other than varnish and oil are there any alternative solutions that would allow the natural wood colour to come through?

I've just checked and you're right, it is still smooth (after 15 years) - might just have to leave it in, replace the outboard bearing and the pawl spring (the broken spring was the reason for opening it up in the first place), and be done with it. Thank you.

I've done the swearing, for sure ... the problem is that it's so difficult to get anything in there, and get an angle on it. Would've been a better engineering decision to put some eyes on the thing. First time I've had to had to say a bad thing about Campag design.

Does anyone have an idea how I can remove the circlip in my old Campy Record freehub? I've worked out that it's called a blind circlip, because it doesn't have an eye at either end that would allow one to use circlip pliers. Here's a photo of the thing in situ, and a stock photo from the Wiggle site that shows what they look like.

The reflection in that mirror is really artistic!

There are these too, I've used them and they work well: https://www.screwfix.com/search?search=gripfix

Bought a lovely Feedback Sports workstand off @DirtBuddha, all went swimmingly, thank you.

I'll take it, can you send me a private message with your payment details please?

My friend in Co. Wexford does this type of work all over NI and the Republic: http://greenbuild.ie/ . He's a super bloke, you'll be in good hands.

I'm putting up some floating shelves. The section of the Hafele bracket that goes into the wall is 60mm long. I want to use Fischer's Duopower plugs, but they come in 50mm and 80mm lengths. Should I use the 50mm or the 80mm?
